I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

"Nonsense, I'm Little Knight, how could I possibly criticize EDG? I love EDG the most."

Seeing Wang Ke's confident and assertive words, Song Wen asked suspiciously:

"EDG really lost to a wildcard team? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I absolutely remember correctly."

While answering, Wang Ke simultaneously published a new chapter.

"Now it's your turn, bro."

Wang Ke's novel is not very long and has not met the recommendation criteria, so even though he has written such explosive content, no one can see it.

At this point, Song Wen, the live streamer, is needed to help him attract viewers.

Although Song Wen's live streaming career isn't particularly successful, the high-intensity live streaming over this period, coupled with the entertaining content of Song Wen and Wang Ke's shows, has allowed them to accumulate a small following. Each live stream attracts around one hundred viewers.

September 30th.

10:20 AM.

With ten minutes to go before the first group stage match between EDG and INTZ, Song Wen changed the room name to "[Watch the match together, EDG vs. INTZ!]".

However, to Song Wen's surprise, there were already dozens of people in his live stream room before he even started the live stream.

Song Wen, who thought he had finally gained a group of loyal fans, was greeted with warm greetings as soon as he turned on his live stream camera.

[Your mother is dead, streamer!]

[I'll fuck your whole family, streamer!]

[You idiot!]

Song Wen was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on?"

Wang Ke walked over with a smile and said:

"I promoted your livestream on the Anti-Drug Bar and the League of Legends Bar. How was the result? Pretty good, right?"

In 2016, Baidu Tieba had a fairly good user traffic.

So Wang Ke posted a thread on the anti-Japanese forum in advance.

The title of the post was also very concise and clear.

[Score Prediction! EDG 0:1 INTZ!]

Then Song Wen's live stream was added to the background.

Looking at the screen full of vulgar language, Song Wen said with a grin:

"No wonder these kids were so excited; it turns out their guardian has arrived."

After thinking for a moment, he simply changed the name of his live stream to [EDG0:1INTZ], thinking to himself that as expected of someone who writes online novels, he was indeed better at creating these gimmicks to gain traffic than him.

Seeing that even the name of the live stream room had been changed, EDG's fans became even more distraught.

Song Wen leisurely opened a bottle of cola for himself and said:

"It's no use cursing me, EDG just can't win today."

At this moment, some of the original viewers in Song Wen's live stream also entered the live stream and exclaimed that it was outrageous when they saw the name of the live stream.

[The streamer is being ridiculous; how could EDG's number one seed possibly lose to a wildcard team?]

While it's true that LPL's overall strength this year is lacking, this level of unfairness is almost unbelievable.

The streamer has fallen from grace and started profiting from negative online traffic.

[If it weren't for the fact that the streamer helped me with my promotion matches, I wouldn't have bothered to say a few words to you.]

[Sima, can you please stop piggybacking on EDG's popularity?]

[Awesome! EDG won the Summer Split this year with a perfect record, and you're saying they lost to a wildcard team? Hahaha, you're a genius!]

Looking at the barrage of comments, Song Wen raised his eyebrows.

"Guys, how did I become a sarcastic critic?"

He glanced at the time and said:

"Although the streamer is only Diamond rank now, it's because he hasn't been seriously trying to climb the ranks. In reality, if the streamer went to EDG, even Fat General would have to be my substitute."

Haha, he's bragging again.

[Bro, are you alright? If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital and get it checked out.]

Song Wen glanced at the bottom right corner of the screen and noticed that EDG and INTZ had already entered the draft phase.

Since he doesn't have the right to broadcast the games, he can only watch them himself.

"Don't criticize the streamer, he has a deep understanding of the game. The two sides are starting the draft now, let me predict the draft first: INTZ bans Jayce, Rek'Sai, and UZI, EDG bans Nidalee, Elise, and Bard."

Song Wen's confident words stunned the viewers in the live stream.

This kid is too confident; he doesn't seem to be just bragging at all.

Many netizens were watching Song Wen's live stream while also streaming the match.

At this point, INTZ, playing on the blue side, started by banning Jayce.

Subsequently, the two sides' actions were exactly as Song Wen had described!

Song Wen knew these things because Wang Ke told him.

Wang Ke may not remember other matches from the many League of Legends World Championships, but as a web novelist who writes League of Legends novels, he has vivid memories of classic matches like this one.

After all, those were matches he actually wrote about.

As for why Wang Ke himself didn't appear on camera to provide commentary, it's because as a writer who has spent many years hiding behind a computer screen, he rarely interacts with the outside world. He can talk fluently behind a computer screen, but when it comes to pointing a camera at his face and asking him to express his opinions, he inevitably feels a bit stage-frightened. He's a living, breathing person, and it's impossible for him to be perfect in every aspect.

Song Wen is different. His experience as a six-time champion means he would never be nervous. His confidence allows him to brag in front of the camera without even blinking. In Song Wen's own words, as long as he doesn't feel like he's bragging, then he's not bragging.

Furthermore, in the novel, Song Wen, as a professional gamer, also has ample experience in live streaming.

Therefore, when it comes to live streaming, Song Wen is definitely a professional.

Wang Ke, on the other hand, only needs to do things like promote the anti-Japanese protests on the forum today, create some buzz, and ride the wave of traffic.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned when they saw the two sides battling it out.

Holy crap, it really is?!

How did the streamer know?

[It seems the streamer does have some understanding of the game.]

[Haha, what a bunch of idiots. This guy is definitely using a faster streamer and just showing off.]

Indeed, some live stream sources are faster.

"Look, someone's trying to be clever again."

Song Wen looked at the comments and said with a smile.

This is also what Wang Ke admires most about Song Wen. This person never gets into trouble when he does live streaming, because in Song Wen's view, every time he goes online, he feels like he is visiting a zoo, and being able to witness the diversity of life is a very happy thing.

"Indeed, the streamer is definitely watching the live stream faster. Let me check. The streamer has already finished the draft for both sides. INTZ's lineup is Syndra, Ashe, Braum, Lee Sin, and Gnar. EDG's lineup is Nami, Ezreal, Irelia, Vladimir, and Graves."

After Song Wen finished speaking, he half-reclined on the chair and began to hum a little tune.

The number of comments in the live stream was also reduced by half, indicating that many netizens went to watch the live match to verify the information.

Five minutes later, Song Wen's live stream was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

【No, you were actually right, kid?】

Holy crap, where are all these live streams coming from? There are so many!

[Stop kidding, bro. The whole draft process took five minutes. Even with a live stream, it'd be a minute faster at most.]

【I understand, this guy is definitely there!】

[Case solved. Were you trying to show off at the scene?]

"Yes, yes, yes," Song Wen said with a smile, "The streamer was indeed there. The match has already finished, INTZ 1:0 EDG, do you believe it or not?"
